Maija Peterfeso, MSW, LICSW

You are not broken. Life’s challenges can sometimes cause us to question our worth or lose sight of our strengths, but I know you carry unique gifts, qualities, and resilience within you. 

I support clients in reconnecting with their authentic selves and finding their own voices. My approach blends clinical expertise with a holistic perspective, drawing on my Master’s degrees in Clinical Social Work and Holistic Health Studies, along with my 30 years of experience working in different communities and therapeutic settings.

Some of the areas I commonly work with include life transitions, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, relationships, boundaries, family dynamics, and exploring core beliefs that shape how we see ourselves in the world.

In our work together, you can expect to feel safe, seen, and heard. I integrate both holistic and evidence-based practices, creating a space that honors the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. My East Coast roots and Midwest experiences shape me into a grounded therapist, with a gentle directness, an approachable presence who will support you in moving forward with confidence and clarity.

Maija is currently welcoming new clients for both in-person and telehealth sessions, covered by our credentialed insurance plans. She is available exclusively at our St. Paul clinic: 1854 Grand Ave St. Paul, MN 55105.

Maija is an independent contractor with RWC and operates as a separate entity. While providing services through our practice, Maija retains full professional responsibility for clients and clinical work.
